My first grow room build (pix)

So I am building my first grow room and wanted to share what I am doing and hopefully get some advice and feedback along the way. (I will take pix along the way)

I am building two cabinet rooms.

The first is my Veg room and its dimensions are H:4ft W:2ft D:2ft.

The second is my Flower room and its dimensions are H:6ft W:4ft D:2ft.

I plan on using a cfl in the Veg box. I’ts a "GROWLUSH HYDROPONIC 100W ENERGY SAVER LAMP 6400K"

And for the Flower room I was thinking of using a 250 watt HPS High Output lamp. (I have a 400 watt HPS but think this might be a pain keeping the heat out).

I am not sure about what I will do for ventilation yet but was thinking of just using 120MM fans in each. But am not sure if this is enough for the Flower room?

Any way I have my first shots of the build. The Veg room is sitting in the Flower room just to save space but they will be side by side once I have finished making them.

How many plants are you planning on growing? If you are planting more than one, I would buy a 3-4 more CFL's to ensure a healthy plants before heading into Flowering.. Everything else sounds good. What strain are you going to grow?

For my first batch I am just using some seeds found in some good weed. Bush Bud. Once I have had a test run and everything seems to be working I will buy some good seed.

I have the same setup other than size and light .Mine is 5ft:H 4ft:W 4ftD and 2 6500k clf's if i was you i would only put one plant in it. My plant is in need of being moved to a bigger room. For the air flow i have 2 120mm fans in it as well one at top left corner and bottom side for air flow
the pic's 1 is at 2 weeks and pic 2 is at 5 weeks i had to top it and clip off some of the folage to get light to the lower end of the plant .Also i have took 12 cliping's off this plant as well for cloning as u can tell in the pics this plat is from a seed from a bag of good bud

This is cyber world everything is fake therefore, everything I say or do is is fictional

Looks good killers. Thanks for the share and some ideas. I have just put the door on my smaller Veg room and am just about to start painting it. (I am no carpenter and this took me much longer than I expected and was a bit bodgie job. I’m not looking forward to hanging the big ones).

I will upload some more pictures soon.

Ok so I have made some small progress on the Veg room. The door is now on and I have finished painting it. Now I just need to put in air vents, fans and my 100 watt CFL light. I also plan on adding some more side CFL's in the near future.

One quick question. Is there any need to add a carbon filter to the Veg box or just the Flower box?

Ok some more pix.

I installed my new 130 watt CFL and have taken my plant from outside and it is now in the box.

I still need to add the following to my Veg box.

2 x 75 watt CFL's for side lighting
1 x 125mm fan
1 x 6" x 6" air vent screen
Mylar

It is week:wall: its been growing outdoors for a few weeks and there has not been much light. Its been raining and overcast for the past 3 weeks now. Thats part of the reason I decided to grow indoors for the first time.

I have a fan on it now. That photo was taken 10 min before I found my old fan. THX.

fief weeks? oh.. you should put it indoors bit faster.. anyway, i think your plant will grow just fine. to my opinion she is ready for flowering stage. but what the hell, let her use to new envoiroment.

i was growing fief plants indroors and soon space for all of them got short, so i put 3 plants in other room next to the window. they were growing there for about a month. fief weeks ago i put them back in my growroom and theyre doing just fine. flowering with beutifull hairs all over them! :)

I only got me setup done today so was not able to get it inside any earlier.

I'm not sure if it is a female or not yet so I am going to take a few clones on Thursday and then flower one to find out. I have no seed at the moment so fingers crossed.

I will be a bit pissed if I have to kill it and start over. So let hope it’s not a boy.

Ok well tomorrow I have a heap of supplies arriving so I should be able to make some more progress on the build.

I am expecting
2 x 125mm Inline Fans
1 x Humidity Crib
1 x 1.22m x 7.5m sheet of Mylar
1 x Higrometer Thermometer
1 x CCS Clonex Clone Solution
1 x 5m of Ducting

Today I purchased some Vents which I spray painted Black on the backs to help stop the light from coming in or getting out.

For the big vents I added stockings to the back grills so I can fill the in between void with Active Carbon to help eliminate any smells coming from my Flower Box. I will install the vents when the fans arrive tomorrow.

So today my stuff arrived. I for some reason got only one fan so I have to chase that up tomorrow.

I installed the air vent to the veg box and when I get the fan I will install that and add the Mylar.

I installed one fan into my Flower box and installed the large air vent.

I also took some cuttings and transplanted my plant into another pot. It was not easy to get her out of the previous pot so I think she is feeling a bit of motion sickness from the trip.

Below are new pix.

It is in about a 2.5 gal pot. I will move it into a 3 or 4 gal pot once the cuttings are bigger. As I only have 1 light in there at the moment I put it in that pot so I can get the light as near to my cuttings as possible. Also I am not too worried about the mother getting root bound as she will be just used for cuttings. (is it ok to not worry about this?)
The way the light is in the photo is just so I can get a good picture. I drop the tight to about 2" from the top of my plant.
